Can I move out with a child and a criminal record?

i myself am almost 17. i was pregnant and unfortunately lost the baby. i will tell you that i know the feeling you have right now… i didnt have the best relationship with my parents and on top of all of that having to tell them i was pregnant…then to put up with the arguments and everything else…and then for it all not to be worth it and to loose the baby… it s*cked! to put it bluntly. i did almost everything i could to keep myself out of the house after that…but once someone told me that i needed to save money i realized if i was going to do that i needed to stay home for awhile…im not saying stay at home for the next 2 years… but stay there as log as you can take it… when you feel like you honestly cant anymore…or when it becomes a bad place for your child to grow up in… move out…

I don’t know the details of what makes your relationship with mom a bad one. But I can say that sooo many teenagers go through this!

Getting married and moving out is not the best solution to your problem. I had a similar problem when I was younger and I did everything I could to stay out of the house. I did after school activities, babysitting and eventually took a job at a restaurant on the weekends as a hostess. Stay as independant as you can as long as you can. It’s only two more years. Take that time to save money and work and then when you turn 18, move out with roommates.

I am telling you that you really need to think seriously about not getting married so young. I know it seems like the answer to all your problems and that everything will be happy ever after. But being a wife to a man takes experience and wisdom and patience that you just don’t have yet. Patience, young one.

Dear markeatta, If your mother doesn’t have custody of your child or there is no condition on you to live at home without loosing your child you can move out. Call social services in you area and they can set you up in an apt. and start up costs. Sue…good luck
